According to UnivDatos, Pressure to boost yields under water and climate constraints, and Active government push for digital agriculture and smart farming are some of the key factors supporting the market rise. As per their “Middle East & Africa Precision Farming Market” report, the Middle East & Africa market was valued at USD 1,150 million in 2024, growing at a CAGR of about 11.9% during the forecast period from 2025 - 2033 to reach USD million by 2033.

The concept of precision farming in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) is developing at a very fast pace due to the reactions of growers and governments towards water shortage, variability of climate, and the necessity to increase agricultural production in a more sustainable way. The market has been moving towards independent hardware to build in digital systems that are a combination of sensors, automation, and data-driven decision support. Real-time water optimization is becoming a mainstay application with water-smart irrigation, with a combination of related soil-moisture probes, weather stations, and automated drip or pivot systems. Meanwhile, farm data is being transformed into actionable recommendations by software, AI, and mobile applications, enabling more intelligent input management, higher output, and greater profitability.

Intensifying focus on water-smart, sensor-based irrigation:

Water shortages and climatic instability throughout the Middle East and Africa are accelerating the transition to sensor-based, water-efficient irrigation as a fundamental component of precision agriculture. Growers are moving to the use of soil-moisture probes, weather stations, and flow meters that are connected to automated drip and pivot systems to ensure that the amount of water applied to the crop is well-calculated in accordance with the needs of the crop. These are all linked solutions that allow real-time monitoring of the field conditions, remote control of valves and pumps, and scheduling of irrigation based on the data. The outcome is increased water-use efficiency, more sustainable yields, and less energy and fertilizer wastage due to over-irrigating. In the context of governments and agribusiness, sensor-based irrigation helps in national water strategies as well as enhances the profitability of farmers. With the reduction in the cost of hardware and the increase in interconnectedness, the adoption is likely to expand beyond large, commercialized farms to medium and organized smallholder enterprises.

Latest Trends in the Middle East & Africa Precision Farming Market.

Growing role of software, AI, and mobile apps on top of hardware:

The future of precision farming in the Middle East and Africa is no longer based on hardware deployed in farms but digital platforms that are integrative through software, AI, and mobile applications. Drones and GPS-enabled equipment, as well as sensors, are considered data sources for cloud-based analytics engines, as opposed to independent tools. High-tech algorithms can prescribe straight at multi-season field statistics, satellite images, and weather prediction to produce accurate suggestions on the date to plant, variable-rate seeding, mixes of fertilizers, and pests. These insights are thereafter served to farmers by mobile applications in straightforward, localized platforms to be performed upon in real-time. This software layer is also a workflow management, traceability, input ordering, and financial services enabler that builds an end-to-end digital ecosystem. With increased industry connectivity and the growth in the use of subscription-based models, software and AI will become the source of an increasing proportion of value creation in MEA precision agriculture.

Key Investment Trends:

Technologies that enhance productivity in the context of water scarcity and climatic stress are gaining more attention in investment activity in the Middle East & Africa precision farming market. Investments in sensor-based irrigation, soil and crop monitoring systems, and weather intelligence systems to facilitate application of inputs with precision are on the increase. Software-based models, to transform field data into actionable suggestions, are also being supported by investors as farm management platforms, artificial intelligence analytics, and mobile advisory apps. Drones, satellite services, and automated machinery are finding capital in commercial farms that do not need labor as much and enhance consistent operations. The number of partnerships between agritech companies, governments, and financiers is also rising, and it helps to offer bundled services, where equipment, data services, and credit are combined.

Country Market Growth

The market of precision farming in Saudi Arabia is growing, and it is highly promising due to the interest of the government in the issue of food security and the need to make agriculture more sustainable. The investments in new technologies, e.g., GPS-based machinery, soil moisture sensors, and automated irrigation systems, are also assisting local farms to become more efficient in water usage and enhance their crop production in dry conditions. Other components that encourage adoption are increasing farm digitization, good subsidies, and corporate alliances with international precision agriculture technology vendors. Real-time monitoring of data and making decisions is becoming a reality due to the growth of agrotech startups and the rise of rural connectivity. Consequently, precision farming solutions are observed as much-needed implementations to improve productivity and lower the input expenses within the Kingdom's agricultural industry.
